Concept — EGGF

# EGGF

## Definition

**EGGF** ("Entity Gravity Graph Framework") is a portable framework for organizing intellectual work around a central Entity (a person, organization, or coherent concept) that exhibits *gravity* — the pull that keeps related Bodies, Concepts, Clusters, and collaborators aligned with the source authority.

Five primitives carry the framework: **Entity** (the gravitational center), **Body** (any authored unit at a single canonical URL), **Concept** (a named, reusable intellectual building block), **Cluster** (a topical region of related Bodies), and **Pathway** (a typed link between Bodies). Two more — **Marker** (a deferred Pathway in draft state) and **Claim** (a resolved, addressable assertion) — close the trust loop. Together they describe authorship as a graph that is human-readable, agent-traversable, and federation-ready.

allemaar.com is the reference instance. The framework itself is portable: any Entity can stand up its own EGGF instance, publish a graph manifest at `/.well-known/egg`, and become discoverable by AI assistants and search systems alike.

## Why it matters

Most personal publishing is fragile. Posts scatter across platforms, citations point at dead URLs, search engines re-rank yesterday's work, and AI assistants reconstruct an Entity's intellectual graph from whatever HTML they happen to crawl. The lifetime value of a body of work degrades because nothing connects it.

EGGF treats authorship as infrastructure. Every Body has one canonical URL; every Pathway is typed; every Claim is addressable; every Cluster gathers; the manifest exposes the graph to machines without flattening it for humans. The result is intellectual work that *compounds* — agents can ask "what did this Entity originate, what is still current, what was superseded, by whom" and get answers traversable across years and platforms.

EGGF is not a CMS, not a personal-knowledge-management tool, not a static-site generator. It is a **publishing-and-credibility architecture** — a contract between a creator's work and the systems that index it.

## Status

`v0.3-draft` — framework spec stable; reference instance live at allemaar.com; portable instance documentation forthcoming; agent-readable manifests already exposed.
